    摘要: Apparatus and method for determination of the endpoint of a cleaning process in which cleaning fluid is contacted with a structure to effect cleaning thereof. The cleaning process includes contacting a cleaning fluid with a structure to be cleaned and producing a cleaning effluent having a sensible heat thermal energy characteristic corresponding to extent of cleaning of the structure, disposing an object in the cleaning effluent that interacts with the cleaning effluent to produce a response indicative of the sensible heat thermal energy characteristic of the cleaning effluent, and monitoring such response to determine when the cleaning is completed. An endpointing algorithm and endpoint monitoring are also described, as well as endpoint monitor sensor elements that are useful to determine endpoint conditions in an efficient and reproduceable manner.

    摘要: An integrated circuit barrier structure disposed between high dielectric constant metal oxide and Cu or Al electrodes, for preventing diffusion of species such as oxygen, bismuth, or lead from the high dielectric constant metal oxide into the Cu or Al electrodes. Such barrier structure also protects the Cu or Al electrodes against oxidization during deposition of the high dielectric constant metal oxide. The barrier structure can be formed as (1) a single layer of Pt, Ir, IrO2, Ir2O3, Ru, RuO2, CuO, Cu2O, Al2O3, or a binary or ternary metal nitride, e.g., TaN, NbN, HfN, ZrN, WN, W2N, TiN, TiSiN, TiAlN, TaSiN, or NbAlN, or (2) double or triple layers of such materials, e.g., Pt/TiAlN, Pt/IrO2, Pt/Ir, Ir/TiAlN, Ir/IrO2, IrO2/TiAlN, IrO2/Ir, or IrO2/Ir2O3/Ir. Such barrier structures enable Cu or Al electrodes to be used in combination with high dielectric constant metal oxides in microelectronic structures such as ferroelectric stack and trench capacitors, non-volatile ferroelectric memory cells, and dynamic random access memory (DRAM) cells.

    摘要: A method of improving the physical and/or electrical and/or magnetic properties of a thin film material formed on a substrate, wherein the properties of the thin film material are stress-dependent, by selectively applying force to the substrate during the film formation and/or thereafter during the cooling of the film in the case of a film formed at elevated temperature, to impose through the substrate an applied force condition opposing or enhancing the retention of stress in the product film. The method of the invention has particular utility in the formation of ferroelectric thin films which are grown at temperature above the Curie temperature, and which may be placed in tension during the cooling of the film to provide ferroelectric domains with polarization in the plane of the film.
